JKSSB announces 127 Junior Engineer vacancies for R&B Department
The Story in Brief
The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has invited applications for 127 Junior Engineer (Mechanical) posts in the Public Works (Roads and Buildings) Department. The online application process begins on 16 November and closes on 15 December 2026, as per Advertisement Notification No. 10 of 2026.
Applicants must be domiciles of Jammu and Kashmir. The maximum age for Open Merit candidates is 40 years as of 1 January 2026, with relaxations for reserved categories. The application fee is Rs 600 for general applicants and Rs 500 for SC, ST, EWS and persons with benchmark disabilities. Selection will be through objective-type multiple-choice questions, with a penalty of one-fourth marks for each wrong answer. Examination dates and centres will be notified on the JKSSB website.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The notification opens 127 government engineering posts in Jammu and Kashmir's R&B department after years of pendency, with applications starting mid-November. Candidates must hold a valid domicile certificate by the deadline, a requirement that ties recruitment to local residency rules. The board warns that vacancies may change before the process ends and that the notification is subject to pending court cases, leaving the final number of posts uncertain until legal challenges are resolved.
